From Chicago, first time at Manifesto. Here are some thoughts:…read more -This place is really cool on the inside, it's like walking into a different world. -I ordered a Moka, not good. Had a thick gel on top like what happens to pudding when it's cooling. My wife had regular coffee and loved it! -We each tried a pastry. I got the apple, raisin, walnut strudel, and it was delicious! My wife ordered the croissant and enjoyed it. -Service was good. Recommended!

Everything was made for us fresh and tasted really great! We had ice lattes, caramel and mocha. Each one was made with coconut milk. I had the sandwich with veggie ratatouille and cheese on it. I got a fried egg on the side and threw that on top as well. It also came with a side salad. It was filling and flavorful. My friend had the quesadilla with black beans. Also filled with veggies and cheese. We really enjoyed our food and would recommend!

CHILA-KILLING IT - These folks freaking kill chilaquiles. We came twice, the service is fast and…read morefriendly, and the prices are supremely fair. And while small, it seats quite a few and is very well decorated inside. All my life I thought maybe you needed egg for the perfect chilaquiles but truth be told we got theirs with and without egg and the way these folks melt the cheese, it gives it this amazing texture not unlike a perfectly runny omelette. The egg is not in fact required. The flavors are rich, the chips are perfectly crunchy and crispy yet still drenched in salsa, and the meats and toppings just sing. Definitely by far the best chilaquiles we've ever had, and it's not even close. If you don't try Chilakiller's, don't bother ordering chilaquiles anywhere ever again because if you cared about chilaquiles, you'd have them here. Eat here, you won't regret it! Happy eating! -John Seeto

AMAZING! This place excels with everything!…read more Excellent service - my brother and I came when it was raining and they even helped me get out of the car with an umbrella. Yummy food - the food is awesome and the prices are aligned for the quality you get. I came here twice and had the following: Breakfast: Açai Bowl - it had so much fruit and fresh ingredients! The mango was on point. + Green juice and it was delish, fresh and made to order! Early dinner: I had the Roasted Tomato soup and the presentation was pretty and it was unbelievably good, I also shared the Chicken Baguette and it was warm, fresh, and extremely tasty. I also had as desert with coffee and a banana bread. Which was amazing, great presentation and good quality of ingredients. The decor and atmosphere of the place are great for a family brunch, coffee with your friends, a quick meal by yourself, and even a working session. The place has a downstairs and an upstairs. I will totally come back here and recommend it 100%!

There's plenty of outdoor seating, and it was comfortably spaced out. They had barriers set to enter and exit in different places, did temperature checks and offered hand sanitizer. All of their staff wore masks as well. We had been by several times during our recent visits and they always seem to be busy. Brunch is very popular with local street performers gathering on the sidewalk. We stopped by one night for a light bite and both opted for Platillo Volador - or flying saucers. These are pressed white bread sandwiches filled with any variety of stuffings. My husband had Double Cheese and I went with Longaniza and Cheddar. They were both really nice and crispy on the edges while still light. There was a good amount of filling and mine with the Longaniza was packed with flavor. Each came with potato chips and a side of pickled Jalapeños and Carrots. They were so good that we considered a couple more. My husband also went for a Champolas, a thick chocolate milkshake ( they also offer a malted version!) It was thick and full of chocolate! The menu has a great mix of sandwiches, burgers, soups and breakfast items available all day. We'll absolutely be back.

The owner Fico short for Federico is also the barista and roast the different beans from the state of Chiapas. He also made me an espresso with milk that was absolutely wonderful! Prices are reasonable and he only takes cash. I bought the house blend and I'm anxious to try it tomorrow for breakfast. Best place in town to have a great cup of coffee. Don't expect to find a fancy coffee shop, this is a coffee roaster and you can order an espresso, a cafe arabe or a cortado. There is one smal table with four chairs. You finish your coffee and go.
